Carried appendix style in a TXC holster, it's turned out to be the best choice for me.

Never tried a Sig 365 of any flavor but I doubt it would be better in any respect.

Occasionally I will carry a G26/27, but it really offers nothing better in concealability & it's nearly as easy to shoot consistently as well.

If I want something slightly bigger, then it's a Commander sized 1911.

YMMV

MM

I feel the same way, and carry a Glock 19 as my daily carry piece, only occasionally switching to a smaller or pocket sized gun, depending on circumstances.


Hawkeye and MM. Daily carry is the same size as y’all’s G19 and M&P. It’s a G23 I’ve had since 1992. Just realized that’s near 30 years with the same carry. I’ve never shot anybody, never been in a gunfight or war, only laid my hand on it for comfort a few times. But from what I read, see, and understand about undesirables I’ve decided to stay with a size that fits my hand, a cartridge that is substantial, and carries more rounds counting a spare magazine than I will probably need. Comfort is at least as much how you carry as what you carry; probably more. A good belt that holds a good holster firmly makes a tremendous difference; be it a single stack you carry or larger. Just my opinion.

No sir I have not. My second in line is an old 9mm S&W 5903 with target sights and an aftermarket 17 round magazine. Just have not become familiar enough with it to carry. Old habits die hard.

I’ve tried a bunch of them, I thought the 365XL with the safety was a great fit but I don’t shoot the flat trigger very well.

The 43 and 43X are pretty good for me with the shorter trigger reach.

i bought a kahr cw9 from MM's post.

internet gospel is to run 200 rounds thru it to break in.


i run 500 thru mine.

a mix of brass, steel and aluminum.

winchester and tula ( eeek!) steel.


no problems.

too bad Kahr isnt upping their game with a ~12 rd pistol.



I'd be happy if they'd up their game with an optics ready slide, even if it's on a steel frame. If you like the CW9, you'd love shooting the Elite 03.

I have a bunch of glocks and different ones; but I've pretty much settled upon a Sig 365 for most carry any more.

As I posted previously, I am currently schlepping my P365XL, but if I had to make a switch, I'd go with a G43X like Montana Marine's. I shoot with my brother-in-law a fair bit; he has a G43X with the metal mag release and he uses 15 rd Shield mags. It's nice. I don't know if all 43X triggers are schweet, but his is amazing. It's a great trigger. It's a lot of gun (and ammo) for its size.

I've been real happy with the Sig 365X. I already owned the 365, so by buying the XL, I have 3 guns.

I've always intended to buy the P365, but I shoot the LC9sPro well enough that change is not a priority.

I carried the Ruger LC9s for several years. Now its pretty much the Ruger Max 9. Nothing bad to say about either one.

I have some of the early Shields and really like them for being compact, thin, and accurate.

I was searching for something with more rounds and shot the P365 and the Hellcat a lot before deciding on the P365 which was very close decision.

I won't be selling my Shields but now carry the P365 for my needs.

15+ 1 with a sheild mag in warm weather.
Back pocket carry.
Hogue grip.
These 48,s are jumpy with out one due to the slim line profile IMO.
Double D 3.5 connector.
After market tru glo tritium,s

46 rds total under jacket in a horizontal shoulder holster in cold weather.

I have carried some BFP,s in cold weather like that.

Outrageously BFP,s 😄😄😄


I really like the 48.
And have owned alot of glocks.

Little bit over a 4 inch barrel
Accurate out to 25 30 yds.
Slim
Plus up the capacity with the sheild mags.

43x,s like you got are really nice also.

This 48 probably the last glock I ever buy.
Even though I been looking at the gen 5 34 non mos ones also.
Hit the 2 blue label limit for the year already.
And the LGS,s do check as part of the program.

Might be a jan or feb purchase.

Have a BFP for a shoulder holster and the 48 for the back pocket.
Azzload of firepower🤔🤔🤔🥴🥴🥴

Slumlord schitt his pants bout 5 yrs when I whipped out a G24 one day outta nowhere from under a shirtjac to show him

😄😄😄

I wouldn't reccomend a IWI 941R either.

Thing weighs almost 5 pds loaded with a extra mag under your arm.
But it sure shocks the crap outta people when ya show em what your carrying in the course of general conversation.

He is always busting my chops about shoulder holsters in the winter.

G24, now THAT'S a pistol!


Someday I want to build or buy a G24 slide since I have the 6" conversion barrels in 9mm and 357 Sig for my G22.
